The excuse is, Biden has it easy because all he has to do is fix the Trump mess...

You mean all that crime and murders during the summer of love? The actions democrat leaders wanted.

But the increase in shoplifting appears to be limited to a few cities, rather than being truly national.

Translated from news media Liberish to plain English that means the shoplifting is concentrated in deep blue liberal democrat dominated cities

If homicides are down, that's great!

Now if certain folks could please restrict those homicides to their own area, not in downtown & on public transportation, that would really be peachy keen.

We could then return to the peaceful and orderly 1950s.

you go back to the 50's ....i like modern technology....

The data is the data. I understand it is incongruous with your beliefs because you have been duped.

The 'data' is disingenuously presented and does not represent reality. When liberals use numbers it really doesn't take much to see the lies. The reliance on rates and percentages instead of actual occurances is proof of that. The data is raw numbers, yet that isn't presented. Go figure.

The U.S. is on course to end 2023 with one of the largest annual drops in homicides on record, according to preliminary figures from AH Datalytics, a data analysis firm.

Why it matters: The findings appear to be at odds with Americans' perception of crime both in their communities and in the rest of the country.

• More than three-quarters (77%) of Americans believe crime has increased in the U.S. since last year, according to a Gallup survey of 1,009 adults released last month.
• A majority (55%) also said crime was rising in their local area.
• "Both figures are similar to what Gallup measured last year and rank among the most pessimistic readings in the respective trends," the company said.

Is the U.S. in the middle of a shoplifting wave? Target and other retail chains have warned of widespread theft. News outlets have amplified the story. On social media, people have posted videos of thieves looting stores.

But the increase in shoplifting appears to be limited to a few cities, rather than being truly national. In most of the country, retail theft has been lower this year than it was a few years ago, according to police data. There are some exceptions, particularly New York City, where shoplifting has spiked. But outside New York, shoplifting incidents in major cities have fallen 7 percent since 2019, before the Covid pandemic.

Why has the issue nonetheless received so much attention? Today’s newsletter tries to answer that question while taking a deeper look at recent shoplifting trends.

Is Shoplifting Really Surging?

Claims that the U.S. is in the middle of a retail theft wave are exaggerated.

Gee, you don't think the public's perceptions about crime could be being purposely misled by RWM do ya? From the Times' piece........

• Videos of extreme but rare crimes can go viral today. On social media, people post videos of looting flash mobs or thieves ramming cars into stores. “There are millions of property crimes a year,” said Jeff Asher of the research firm AH Datalytics. As a result, people can always find outlandish anecdotes, even if crime is down.
• Conservative media has promoted these videos as evidence of disorder in liberal cities and under President Biden.

That data does not reflect the number of homicides achieved by the clot shots. All cause mortality, which includes but does not precisely identify, is way up.
